Hi everyone and welcome to In Good Company. I'm Nikola Tanjen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund. And today we have a very special guest, Kristel Ederman, the chief executive of Orange Group. Now Orange is one of the largest teleco companies in Europe and in the world actually with 290 million customers and Christelle is an engineer by training, transformative leader and an avid mountain trekker.

So we're going to learn about a lot of things, Christelle. Big welcome. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Why is the telecom sector interesting?

Actually what's interesting is that we are in everybody's life in actually in good moments and and we don't realize it, but we rely on connectivity all the day. I mean as companies, our humans, we're always connected, we look at our phones, and so the technology is surrounding us and that's what we do. So we are here in the life of the citizens, the people, our families, and then of course Where it's actually more impacting is of course we are here in times in good times. The Olympics in Paris, for for instance, were the great experience where everyone was connected and everyone could see.
